Thomas Abraham is Director of the Public Health Media Project at HKU and Assistant Professor at the JMSC. He has just returned from working as Team Leader (News) at the Director General’s Office at the World Health Organisation in Geneva. Fresh from the experience and full of ideas, he will teach the MJ course Reporting Health and Medicine.

The JMSC welcomes its first Journalist-in-Residence, Christian Caryl. A Senior Fellow at the Center for International Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books, he will be sharing his vast experience to teach ‘Critical Writing about the Arts’.
